A young activist from Polatsk Ales Krutkin and two his fellow activists planned to hold a rally in support of political prisoner Alexander Barazenka.
The young men wanted to gather with prisoner’s portraits in front of Trade House in Polatsk. They gathered 15 minutes before the rally planned for 6.30 p.m. and were waiting for other participants, and then a police car arrived.
As said by Ales Krutkin, a policeman addressed him with the words: ‘Good evening, Mr Krutkin’. After that he ordered to go with him to the police department for identification. Two other activists were taken to Polatsk city police department as well.
